What I did on my holiday

<child age="5">I stayed in an old house and I rode a horse and I built a sandcastle and I went walking at night and I saw some bats and a fossa and two hyenas and two castles and I wore a saxon helmet and I played big stompy robots and I changed history and I rode a bike and it was really good.</child>
